4 Steps to Fix Your Skin

Did you know that what we cleanse our faces with can actually be one of the main causes of dry and dehydrated skin?

Why You Need to Use a Gentle Cleanser

So many cleansers are too harsh for the delicate skin on our face and can strip the skin of all of its natural oils (or sebum).

NEED TO KNOW…

For both dry and dehydrated skin, it’s SO important to use a gentle cleanser such as the NIOD Low Viscosity Cleansing Ester which doesn’t strip your skin of its natural sebum oil, as these oils act as a natural barrier to our skin, helping lock moisture in and keep our skin supple and youthful.

NEED TO KNOW…

Most of us tend to focus on the negative side of sebum, such as its ability to make your face look shiny, and its connection with acne.

NEED TO KNOW…

But the presence of sebum is actually GOOD for your skin!

This is because it protects the skin from losing moisture.

NEED TO KNOW…

Yet another good thing about sebum is that it contains a lot of vitamin E, an antioxidant that protects the skin from ageing as well as cancer.

Once your face is thoroughly cleansed, you may like to blot your face with a tissue to remove the nourishing film of ester on your skin or leave the ester film on your face (if you have very dry skin) to further work its magic!

What Is Jojoba Oil?

The Jojoba nut has been used by the Native American tribes for skin and hair care for many, many centuries – and for good reason!

Jojoba Oil mimics the skin’s natural oil or sebum (which means it doesn’t make skin oily or break out), and relieves the skin of dryness, takes down redness, and helps re-balance the complexion for dry and dehydrated skin.

Why You’ll Love Jojoba Oil

Soaps and most other skin cleaning agents strip the skin of the sebum that skin glands produce to lubricate the skin and protect it from drying out.

NEED TO KNOW…

Every time we wash our face and hands, even with just water, we’re removing a protective layer of sebum along with dust and grime.

NEED TO KNOW…

The cold and dry air in winter and air-conditioned interiors dry out our skin at a faster rate than our skin glands replenish the oil supply.

NEED TO KNOW…

Being a waxy substance, Jojoba Oil can seal in the moisture and create an effective barrier to external elements that can play havoc with your skin.

NEED TO KNOW…

Organic, Cold Pressed Jojoba Oil is so structurally close to the secretion of the sebaceous glands in the skin, that it’s readily accepted and tolerated by the skin!

Clever, huh?

What Jojoba Oil Can Do For Your Skin

Dehydrated and dry skin is vulnerable to irritants that cause dermatitis, and germs that are constantly looking for entry points into the skin.

NEED TO KNOW…

By adding Jojoba Oil into your skincare routine, you’ll be helping your skin fix itself by locking in the moisture and protecting it from the drying effects of the environment.

NEED TO KNOW…

As well as giving your dry or dehydrated skin the extra nourishment and hydration it needs, organic, cold pressed Jojoba Oil helps take down any redness or sensitivity in your skin, including any inflammation from rosacea and other skin conditions.

HERE’S HOW IT CAN HELP…

Dry Skin:Jojoba Oil relieves the dry tight feeling, takes down redness and helps the skin barrier become stronger, which, in turn, helps the skin fix itself by locking in more moisture.

Dehydrated Skin:Jojoba Oil balances dryness and oiliness and helps rebalance skin back to its natural state.

The Jojoba Oil I Swear By

It’s 100% organic certified and the oil has been extracted without heat, meaning that the oil is at its most nourishing!

It’s fantastic for both dry AND dehydrated skin!

If you have dry or dehydrated skin, it can be tempting to use a very rich moisturising cream all over your face.

While this may make skin feel nice, this doesn’t get to work on the cause of your skin’s dryness.

YOUR SKIN NEEDS…

…Jojoba Oil and then Hyaluronic Acid. Its calming, hydrating, and antioxidant properties are great for all skin types, even for rosacea-prone and eczema-prone skin.

Why Your Skin Needs It

Jojoba Oil will do a great deal to help fix your skin and seal in moisture BUT, to really help your skin back to a balanced hydrated state, you need to accompany Jojoba Oil with an amazing hyaluronic acid such as Hydration Vaccine which is an incredible balm packed full of the stuff!

NEED TO KNOW…

Hyaluronic Acid (it’s a good acid!) is produced by our skin naturally but as we age, our skin produces less of it.

NEED TO KNOW…

This science-based magic lies in hyaluronic acid’s ability to replenish moisture, a LOT of moisture! One gram (0.03 ounce) of hyaluronic acid can hold up to six litres of water.

Now that really is CRAZY!

The Hyaluronic Acid I Swear By

NIOD Hydration Vaccine is a little pot of WONDER which actually works to regulate and FIX your skin’s hydration levels, giving your skin back its youthful plumpness!

Why You’ll Love Hydration Vaccine

Not only can you FEEL a difference in your skin as it feels beautifully smooth and soft instantly on application, but you can also SEE the difference, as it plumps skin and makes fine lines and wrinkles appear smoother.
